PHOTOCOPIEU "BELTED LONG DRESS(AALTO)"
A long, airy dress with large openings at the chest and armholes.
The simple cotton seersucker material features a lamé weft thread that gives the impression of a sparkling water surface being reflected.
There is a large river flowing next to the factory, and the water is drawn in to make the fabric. The shoulder yoke is folded in half and gathered on the inside while keeping the shape, creating a purposeful silhouette.
The belt can be adjusted in two stages, so you can adjust it to fit your size.
[STORY]
The image of Japanese materials comes to mind: plain weave cotton woven with stiff, thick threads.
Far from being supple, the fabric is rough and durable, highly breathable and moisture-wicking, and there are few similar materials available in Europe.
The weather is the opposite to Japan, it's dry and you don't want the air to escape.
Nishiwaki is known as a production area that produces many of these uniquely Japanese fabrics.
Nowadays, there are many different threads and looms, so it's not just the old image, but I wanted to try making something with a European-style fabric that is perfect for the Japanese summer. A large river flows through a factory in Nishiwaki, and the water is drawn in to make fabric. Nature and life are closely intertwined, and I felt a real sense of being alive.
The sparkling surface of the water is reflected on the rustic cotton seersucker material.

ABOUT
Photocopiu's clothing, which combines a feminine silhouette with a strong presence, was born from her empathy with the flexible yet strong attitude of the women she met in Paris.
While superficial decoration has been boldly eliminated, the transitional lines created with the warmth of the hand and the organic forms that hint at the female body evoke heated emotions in both the wearer and the viewer.
A striking silhouette that blends into your everyday life.
Everyday clothing that is designed to be comfortable will gradually become a necessary tool for a lifestyle that embodies a person's individuality.
